Let go and hold on.

Life is something you cant control.  Ever.  You think you have things figured out, you’ve made a plan for your life, a goal you’re determinded to achieve.. but once you stop planning life and actually start living it, you realize things may not always go as planned. Actually, rarely do they ever go as planned.

Its like watching a river.  Its headed in one direction, flowing strong, it could sweep you away if you’re not careful and yet all it takes for you to upset the flow is for you to drop a pebble into the water. One tiny pebble and the flow changes. maybe just for a minute, but it changes. 

I guess the only way to get through the unplanned parts is to realize its going to happen no matter how you feel about it.  You can hold onto your plan as hard as you want, but a lot of the time, you need to learn how to let go and just accept that some things are out of your control.  Why worry so much when there’s really nothing you can do about it?  It all depends on how you look at it, and what you take from it.  It can break you down, or you can let it make you stronger.

Life happens if you’re ready for it or not.  Its happening.. it only happens once, enjoy it.  Even the hard parts.

Let go of what kills you,
and hold onto what keeps you breathing.
